Description

Es ist bekannt, daß man bei der Aufarbeitung des Phenol und Aceton enthaltenden Gemisches aus der Cumolhydroperoxyd-Spaltung einen Teil des in die Reaktion eingesetzten Cumols wiedergewinnt, das nicht umgesetzt ist. Dieses Cumol enthält gewisse Mengen a-Methylstyrol; letzteres muß aus der Mischung abgetrennt werden, wenn man das Cumol wieder zur Oxydation verwenden will (vgl. It is known that when working up the phenol and acetone containing mixture from the cumene hydroperoxide cleavage part of the in the Reaction recovered cumene used, which is not converted. This cumene contains certain amounts of α-methylstyrene; the latter must be separated from the mixture if you want to use the cumene for oxidation again (cf.

Fortuin und Waterman, Chemical Engineering Science [I953]" 5. 185). Die Destillation der Cumol - a - Methylstyrol - Gemische erfordert erheblichen Aufwand an Apparatur und laufend hohe Betriebskosten. Es ist deshalb vorgeschlagen worden, diese als unerwünscht für die Oxydation erkannte Verbindung durch katalytische Hydrierung in flüssiger Phase bei go bis I00° in Cumol zurückzuverwandeln (USA.-Patentschriften 2 628 983, 2 628 984), doch wurde hierbei als Katalysator Raney-Nickel verwendet (vgl. die deutsche Patentschrift 870 107 und französische Patentschrift 961 022, Beispiel Io). Zwar gelingt es hierbei, das a-Methylstyrol praktisch vollständig aufzuhydrieren, aber es findet gleichzeitig in geringem Umfange eine Hydrierung des Benzolringes statt. Die Anwesenheit von im Ring hydrierten Verbindungen, wie beispielsweise Isopropylcyclohexan und Cyclohexanol, ist aber bei der Oxydation des Cumols sehr unerwünscht.Fortuin and Waterman, Chemical Engineering Science [1953] "p. 185). The distillation of the cumene-α-methylstyrene mixtures requires considerable effort in terms of equipment and continuously high operating costs. It has therefore been suggested this compound recognized as undesirable for the oxidation by catalytic hydrogenation convert back to cumene in the liquid phase at 0 to 100 ° (USA patents 2,628,983, 2,628,984), but Raney nickel was used as the catalyst (see German patent specification 870 107 and French patent specification 961 022, Example Io). It is possible here to practically completely remove the a-methylstyrene hydrogenation, but at the same time there is a small amount of hydrogenation of the benzene ring instead. The presence of compounds hydrogenated in the ring, such as for example isopropylcyclohexane and cyclohexanol, but is in the oxidation of cumene is very undesirable.

Es wurde nun gefunden, daß man das eingangs erwähnte Gemisch bei Temperaturen wesentlich unter I00° glatt hydrieren kann, wenn man die Hydrierung bei gewöhnlichem oder erhöhtem Druck, z. B. 80 at und mehr, und in Gegenwart eines mild wirkenden Katalysators durchführt, der eine selektive Hydrierung ermöglicht und nicht die Anlagerung von Wasserstoff an den Benzolkern begünstigt. Solche Katalysatoren sind auf der Grundlage von Nickel auf Trägerstoffgrundlage aufgebaut. It has now been found that the mixture mentioned at the beginning can be used Temperatures well below 100 ° can hydrogenate smoothly if you use the hydrogenation at ordinary or elevated pressure, e.g. B. 80 at and more, and in the presence of one Carries out a mild catalyst that enables selective hydrogenation and does not favor the addition of hydrogen to the benzene nucleus. Such catalysts are based on nickel on a carrier basis.

Beispiel I In 200 Teilen Wasser löst man 29 Teile Nickelnitrat und fügt 100 Teile eines grobkörnigen Kieselsäuregels hinzu. Die Mischung wird in der Wärme mit I4,6 Teilen Natriumcarbonat gefällt, abgesaugt, sechsmal mit der doppelten Menge warmen Wassers gewaschen; das Produkt wird I2 Stunden bei 100 0.getrocknet, sodann 4 Stunden bei 3500 im Wasserstoffstrom reduziert. Example I 29 parts of nickel nitrate are dissolved in 200 parts of water adds 100 parts of a coarse-grained silica gel. The mixture is in the Heat precipitated with 14.6 parts of sodium carbonate, filtered off with suction, six times with twice as much Amount of warm water washed; the product is dried for 12 hours at 100 °, then reduced for 4 hours at 3500 in a stream of hydrogen.

Man preßt nun auf I Teil Katalysator 8 Teile eines etwa I0 °/e a-Methylstyrol enthaltenden Cumols bei 530 unter 85 bis go at durch den Hydrierofen, wobei man dafür sorgt, daß die Temperatur zwischen 50 und 600 gehalten wird. Das erhaltene Produkt hat einen a-Methylstyrolgehalt von o bis höchstens o,IO/o und einen Brechungsindex n29 = I,49I2. 8 parts of an approximately 10 ° / e α-methylstyrene are now pressed onto 1 part of the catalyst containing cumene at 530 under 85 to go at through the hydrogenation furnace, whereby one ensures that the temperature is kept between 50 and 600. The received The product has an α-methylstyrene content of o to a maximum of o, IO / o and a refractive index n29 = I, 49I2.

Eine für die Durchführung der Hydrierung geeignete Anlage ist beispielsweise in der beigefügten Schemazeichnung wiedergegeben. Aus einem Vorratstank I wird das a-Methylstyrol-Cumol-Gemisch über die Leitung 2 und die Einspritzpumpe 3 in den z. B. 8ovo 1 fassenden Hochdruckofen 4 eingeführt, der mit dem Nickel-Kieselsäuregel-Katalysator beschickt ist und mittels der Kühlschlange 5 durch Wasser gekühlt werden kann. Im Gegenstrom zu dem flüssigen Produkt wird Wasserstoff unter IOO at eingepreßt, der aus der Leitung 6 über den Zwischenbehälter 7 und den Hochdruckverdichter 8 dem Ofen 4 zugeführt wird. Das aufhydrierte Produkt verläßt den Ofen 4 über die Leitung g zu dem Entspannungsgefäß IO; dort wird auf etwa 20 at entspannt und der dabei frei werdende Wasserstoff über die Leitung II in den Zwischenbehälter 7 zurückgeführt. Das im Abscheider IO entlastete Produkt wird über den Kühler 12 in den Behälter I3 überführt und dort völlig entspannt. Da in dem Produkt bei 20 at noch eine Restmenge Wasserstoff gelöst bleibt, ist es zweckmäßig, den im Behälter I3 frei werdenden Wasserstoff wieder auf den Druck aufzupressen, mit dein der Frischwasserstoff über die Leitung 6 der Anlage geliefert wird. In dem Hochdruckofen 4 sind in der üblichen Weise Meßstellen 14 eingebaut, mit denen die Temperatur überwacht wird. A plant suitable for carrying out the hydrogenation is, for example reproduced in the attached schematic drawing. This becomes from a storage tank I. a-methylstyrene-cumene mixture via line 2 and the injection pump 3 into the z. B. 8ovo 1 high pressure furnace 4 introduced with the nickel-silica gel catalyst is charged and can be cooled by water by means of the cooling coil 5. in the Countercurrent to the liquid product, hydrogen is injected under 100 atm, the from the line 6 via the intermediate container 7 and the high pressure compressor 8 dem Furnace 4 is fed. The hydrogenated product leaves the furnace 4 via the line g to the expansion vessel IO; there it is relaxed to about 20 at and that at the same time Released hydrogen is returned to the intermediate container 7 via line II. The product relieved of pressure in the separator IO is fed into the container via the cooler 12 I3 transferred and completely relaxed there. There is still a residual amount in the product at 20 at Hydrogen remains dissolved, it is advisable to use the released in container I3 To pressurize hydrogen again on the pressure, with which the fresh hydrogen over the line 6 of the system is supplied. In the high pressure furnace 4 are in the usual Way measuring points 14 built in, with which the temperature is monitored.

Das erhaltene Cumol kann ohne weitere Nachbehandlung aus dem System über die Förderpumpe I5 wieder der Oxydationsanlage oder sonstigen Verwendungszwecken zugeführt werden. The cumene obtained can be removed from the system without further aftertreatment via the feed pump I5 back to the oxidation system or other uses are fed.

Die selektive Hydrierung des a-Methylstyrols gelingt auch dann, wenn man ohne Druck arbeitet. The selective hydrogenation of the a-methylstyrene succeeds even if you work without pressure.

Beispiel 2 Man leitet durch ein Kontaktrohr, das mit einem nach Beispiel I hergestellten Nickelkatalysator beschickt ist, ein etwa 120/0 a-Methylstyrol enthaltendes Cumol, wobei man die Temperatur im Innern des Kontaktrohres durch eine geeignete Mantelbeheizung auf 50 bis 550 hält und gleichzeitig dem Kontaktraum Wasserstoff zuführt. Man erhält bei geeignet gewähltem Durchsatz ein wasserhelles Hydrierungsprodukt; es enthält 0,05 0/o a-Methylstyrol und erweist sich durch den Brechungsindex (nD°= I,49I2) als praktisch reines Cumol. Example 2 It is passed through a contact tube which is connected to one according to Example I prepared nickel catalyst is charged, a about 120/0 a-methylstyrene containing Cumene, whereby the temperature inside the contact tube by a suitable Jacket heating to 50 to 550 holds and at the same time the contact space hydrogen feeds. With a suitably selected throughput, a water-white hydrogenation product is obtained; it contains 0.05% α-methylstyrene and is shown by the refractive index (nD ° = I, 49I2) as practically pure cumene.
